The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of four in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

I enjoyed his realistic and fresh outlook, says what I have felt as I watch world events. He gracefully talks from his heart and is very relatable. Grateful for his open and honest communication about their business and show. Inspirational.

Susan did a great job reading. I listen to many audio books and think this is the best reading. She new the material and didn't even sound like she was reading, just conversation! Great job!
